Yorkshire (North Riding) Lookup Requests / Re: Spenceleys
« on: Sunday 05 March 06 04:29 GMT (UK)  »
Mike, do you have Joseph Spencely who married Elizabeth Sherwood in Lastingham in Yorkshire in 1833, by any chance? I have 4 children born in England and the names of 2 born in Canada. I am trying to puzzle out the marriage and children of 1 daughter, Jane, b about 1839, who seems to have married somebody named Potter and then George Barry. I'll explain the mystery if it is of interest to you.

England / Re: passport ship's captain England
« on: Thursday 10 February 05 06:52 GMT (UK)  »
Falkyrn, thanks for the lead. Unfortunately it did not help. They directed me to Provi and I could not see where to go once I got there. Most of the parts I looked at you needed to be able to go in to look at microfiche. National Archivist has passports on their site, but you only enter the first three letters of the surname and then the computer takes you to where the name might be. They are not in alpha order and are handwritten with not much detail given. It would be very time consuming to go through year by year, not to mention costly.

England / passport ship's captain England
« on: Monday 07 February 05 19:57 GMT (UK)  »
I have the number of the passport of a relative who was a ship's captain in 1918. He was from Liverpool. Is there anywhere one can write to get the information which would have been on the passport application?

Perthshire / Re: 1851 census blairgowrie, rattray, coupar angus

Thnaks, Nell. We had wondered about that. Perhaps the Janet referred to once in the letters is a close cousin. There was certainly a lot of repetition of names. We have an address that Jessie wrote from in Glasgow in 1882. We have not found her in the 1881 census by name. Perhaps there is a way of searching by address. She would probably be entered as Janet rather than Jessie.

Thanks, Andrea. That is the will of the father of Andrew and gave us a lot of information, including the names of Andrew snr's parents. The name Jessie is not included, although she consistently signs herself "Your Loving sister" in letters to Andrew junior. So I suppose she is one of the other girls but since she mentions every other one at least once in her letters (our choice had been Janet), she can't be.
That Scottish documents site is great, isn't it.

Perthshire / 1851 census blairgowrie, rattray, coupar angus

Is there a site where I can look up families in the 1851 census in these areas please?
 I am looking for Andrew Duncan and his wife Grace, possibly child Mary aged 1 or less. His family (parents Andrew and Janet and their childrew including Sophia, Jessie, David, Alexander, William, Mary, Janet) lived in these towns.
Thanks,
Pam

Dumfriesshire / census pre 1861: malloch(k)
« on: Friday 28 January 05 23:08 GMT (UK)  »
John Malloch married Margaret Bell in England c 1839 but had 3 children in Dumfries.
(Alexander 1840 Eng., David 1842 Eng., Jane 1842 Eng., Robert, John 1848 Eng.)
Thomas 1850 Kirkpatrick, Juxta, Dumfries, William and Agnes - twins 1854 Dumfries.
Is anyone able please to find the family in any census? I think Margaret might be dead by 1860 when the family emigrated to Ontario, Canada. On the Canadian 1861 census John is listed as a widower.
I am trying to check whether the father John was born in Dumfries or Inchture.
Thanks,
Pam
